Testing mp3 files.

 

Take a look at the Visual Pinball\mp3 folder and take note of some mp3 files, including a metallica mp3 file,

 

Open an new table in VP and press Play

Hit Esc and click on Debug Window

Click on the > Symbol, to open the debug window

Type in:

 

PlayMusic "filename.mp3"

 

and hit Enter.  If you hear music, then you know the mp3 file is good.  If not, it could be the mp3 file or your audio preferences or you Windows Volume Mixer setup...

Metallica (stern 2013) PM5

all the music is embedded in the rom

 

if you getting a rom error its because your using the "standard" VPM DLL file, you need the "alternative" DLL

hummm.... odd... do you hear any of the other rom sounds??... like the bumper hits or the voices??

[boiydiego]

voices not but i can hear clicking sounds from the table so yes i can hear somethings , volume is also allmost at max 

[hauntfreaks]

I think the clicks your hearing are table sounds not rom.... because they're all kinda rom sounds cymbal crashes , band member voices tons going on....

this is what you should be hearing

 

[boiydiego]

no dont hear that so it must be a rom problem but before i played it lots of times with sounds and music all working 

[hauntfreaks]

you can try this.... this should force the rom to play the audio

 

add this line after line 58

 

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound")=1

[boiydiego]

like this ? like that it gives me error 

 

.HandleMechanics = 1

.Hidden = 0 

Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound")=1

On Error Resume Next

.Run GetPlayerHWnd

If Err Then MsgBox Err.Description

End With

[hauntfreaks]

yes, but you need the . (dot) before the Games

SAM based machines are not officially supported in the VPM builds.

[jesperpark]

I can't check since i am "working" when you start the game hit F1 to bring up the pinmame menu.  Make sure the check mark for "Play Sounds" is checked

 he's got the alternative DLL  

[gtxjoe]

So he should troubleshoot this issue on the alternative website

[boiydiego]

hauntfreaks IT WORKS THAT WAY so this points to ??

all i have ever used that for was to turn the sounds off , like when using a rom in an original.... so i guessed it could turn it on as well....
glad to hear it worked...

[boiydiego]

but what could have caused the sound to be turned of for that game or maybe more that i not tested , could this be a vpinmame problem ?
